The National Elevation Dataset (NED) is the primary elevation data product produced and distributed by the USGS National 3D Elevation Program (3DEP). The NED provides seamless raster elevation data of the conterminous United States, Alaska, Hawaii, and the island territories.
What are the projection, horizontal and vertical datum, format, and distributed tile extent of 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) contours?
Contours are not projected, but are provided in geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) in units of decimal degrees, and horizontally referenced to the North American Datum of 1983. Contour elevation values are vertically referenced to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988. Contours are staged in Esri File Geodatabase 10.1 or Shapefile format, and distributed in 1x1 degree tiles.

What geographic areas do 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) contours cover? What geographic areas do 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) contours cover?
3D Elevation Program (3DEP) contours cover all of the United States and its territories at multiple scales: Small scales (1:578,000-1:289,000) Medium scales (1:144,000-1:72,000) Large scales (1:36,000-1:18,000) Contours are easily viewed in The National Map Viewer and USGS topographic maps, or downloaded through The National Map Download Client.

What is the difference between lidar data and a digital elevation model (DEM)? What is the difference between lidar data and a digital elevation model (DEM)?
Light detection and ranging (lidar) data are collected from aircraft using sensors that detect the reflections of a pulsed laser beam. The reflections are recorded as millions of individual points, collectively called a “point cloud,” that represent the 3D positions of objects on the surface including buildings, vegetation, and the ground. Digital elevation models ( DEMs) are one of many products...
